Property description
Historic Elegance with Modern Luxury – Built by Cypress Gardens’ Founder Dick Pope! Step into a piece of Winter Haven history with this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home, originally built in 1935 by Dick Pope, founder of the famed Cypress Gardens. Overflowing with timeless character and meticulously blended with modern updates, this residence offers a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic piece of Central Florida’s heritage. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a grand imported Italian fountain that sets the tone for the elegance within. Inside, original details abound — including hardwood floors, handcrafted wood doors, intricate moldings, built-ins, and vintage tile — all beautifully preserved to honor the home's architectural roots. The formal living room welcomes you with an original fireplace and pocket doors that lead into a spacious dining room featuring classic built-ins. Adjacent is a thoughtfully updated kitchen where old-world charm meets contemporary convenience: custom wood cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a copper farmhouse sink, and a natural gas stove. The adjoining butler’s pantry includes a second staircase to the upper level, adding both function and flair. An oversized den with original floor tile opens via French doors from the dining room, offering a flexible space for entertaining or relaxing. The screened porch is ideal for enjoying Florida’s breezes during informal meals or morning coffee. A bonus room with a full bathroom — also showcasing vintage tile and the original vanity — completes the first floor. Upstairs, the secondary master suite offers a walk-in closet and private bathroom with beautifully preserved tile and rewired original light fixtures. Two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath, and the indoor laundry room adds everyday practicality. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring its own sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace, an L-shaped walk-in closet, and a fully renovated en-suite bathroom designed for luxury living. Original built-ins in the bedroom blend seamlessly with the refined updates, creating a space that is both restful and regal. This historic gem also has the potential to be officially registered as a historic landmark, making it not just a home, but a legacy. Home does have an ASSUMABLE 3.5% interest FHA loan!
